Hello,
With the winds we've had the past few days I wanted to get out and see
if there I could find something interesting. I did a quick walk
through Doctor's park in Fox Point and came across an immature Bald
Eagle flying along the shoreline. Those are much more regular now, so
nothing unusual there. Then I spent about an hour on the lakefront in
downtown Milwaukee, first at Lakeshore State Park then, briefly, at
the lagoon at Veteran's Park. I came across 3 Savannah Sparrows at
LSP, which I thought a bit late maybe, but not an unusual vagrant.
There were a lot of RB and Herring gulls, tons of coots, but not much
else out there. At the lagoon I found a few Am. Black Ducks and a
single Am. Black Duck x Mallard hybrid mixed in. But the best finding
down there were 4 Wood Ducks swimming at the south end of the lagoon.
I don't know how unusual they are down there, but I have never seen
any there before. That pretty much covers it for today, not too much
out there braving the wind. In my yard I have had a lot of Fox
Sparrows, White Throated Sparrows and a single White Crowned, but no
Harris' Sparrows mixed in.
